Homework Statement
Two tankers of equal mass attract each other with a force of 3.5 x 10(to the power of 3)N. If their centres are 85m apart, what is the mass of each tanker?
mass of 2 tankers = ?
F= 3.5 x 10(to the power of 3)N
r= 85m
G = 6.67 x 10(to the power of -11)...
Homework Statement
The question is: What is the distance between the moon and the Earth if the mass of the moon is 7.34 x 10(to the power of 22) kg and the force of attraction between the two is 2.00 x 10(to the power of 20) N?
Mass of the moon = 7.34 x 10(to the power of 22) kg...
